From TJ Slideways site:
■Jeff Bloom’s crash at Spartan Speedway on Friday was one of the worst that Bob Buffenbarger had ever witnessed in person. Bloom’s throttle stuck going through turns one and two, plowed into Derek Snyder, and then made hard contact with the wall. Snyder’s car was hit hard enough to do frame damage, but helped take some energy away from Bloom’s car before his big hit. With a back and sternum injury Bloom will be out of action long term.The first person to Bloom’s car to assist was fellow driver and feature winner Friday at Spartan, Aaron Pierce.Bloom has been relocated to a rehabilitation center closer to his Bangor, Michigan home.
